In the course of historical development, a satisfactory full stop often heralds a good start.

In 2020, my country's "13th Five-Year Plan" has come to a successful conclusion. After experiencing the impact of the “new crown” epidemic, the nation’s installed power generation capacity increased from 1.5 billion kilowatts at the end of 2015 to 2.2 billion kilowatts at the end of 2020, an average annual increase of 7.6%, which is higher than the “expected national power generation capacity of 2 billion kilowatts in 2020. The planned target of 5.5% increase.

Based on the latest power statistics, the "China Electric Power Knowledge Database" has drawn up the national power map for 2020 in order to visualize the current development of the power industry.
